With all due respect, God warned against doing such things, knowing that it would lead to deception from lower spirits.

Have you not considered that you're supposed god may be the one deceiving you and holding you back from obtaining information that could be useful to
your development? The fear I speak of is that of the "lower spirits" you mentioned in the above quote. A properly discerning mind will welcome the
challenge and sort the truth from the confusion. Fear is a temporary safeguard until we are confident in our ability to discern. Failing to move
past the fear results in stagnation, not progress.

So, when God tells people that they shouldn't do such things you still think it's alright because you think you have discernment? Do you really
think God allows people to discern truth when they go against his wishes?
